Nikko Taylor is a 6-foot-6, 245-pound edge rusher from Hutchinson Community College. Kansas and SDSU were both aggressively recruiting Taylor along with a bunch of other schools, but Oregon State made a big enough impression that he was willing to make his commitment on the eve of their bowl game. Nikko Taylor announced his decision on Twitter Friday afternoon.
Nikko Taylor is ranked as the #1 JUCO ‘edge’ prospect in the 2023 class. He can line up at the line of scrimmage and also play as an outside linebacker. Taylor is originally from San Diego County, before he moved to Overland Park, Kansas to play for Hutchinson.
